Pet a live shark at a local aquarium, say hello to a King Snake at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History across from Seabright State Beach, or catch a glimpse of the Monterey Bay as you zip around on the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Want to experience the redwoods but are traveling with small children or grandparents? Hop aboard Roaring Camp Railroads and take an hour-long ride through a forest filled with majestic trees.
